Cadoneghe, across the Brenta just north of Padua

Cadoneghe adjoins Padua on its northern side, across the river Brenta, and for many residents it works as a residential district of the city. The land is flat, with the hamlet of Mejaniga, housing built from the 1960s onwards, some small industrial areas and what is left of the farmland towards neighbouring towns.

Buyers here usually want a flat or a terraced house with Padua a few minutes away, even by bike. The embanked Brenta runs along the boundary with the city, so near the banks and in the lowest areas it is worth checking flood hazard, which the report reads from the official maps for the individual address.

At the end of 2023 Cadoneghe had 15,798 residents, down 1.0% on 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. It is a little older than the province, with over-65s at 25.7% against 24.2%, and foreign residents make up 13.7%. Average incomes are slightly above the Padua area.

Many services are those of Padua. The data record 12 schools and 11 healthcare sites, in line with the province per resident, while supermarkets, cafés and restaurants are thinner than average: for a big shop or an evening out, people often head into the city.

Cadoneghe is in seismic zone 3, like 88 other municipalities in the province, with a low expected ground acceleration of about 0.095 g. On alluvial soils, foundations, cracks and rising damp matter more than the seismic class, and in a 1970s block, energy efficiency. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps for the municipality.
